Allectus dies in battle
09/296 AD killed by
Archaeology suggests that Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester) was the site of his defeat.
A group of Roman troops, who had been separated from the main body by the fog during the channel crossing, caught up with the remnants of Allectus's men, mostly Franks, at Londinium (London), and massacred them.
Allectus had removed all insignia in the hope that his body would not be identified.
